Life -- Origin; Spontaneous generation
_This volume is called a “Household Book,” by this name implying that
it is a book for all--that there is nothing in it to prevent it from
being confidently placed in the hands of every member of the household.
Specimens of all classes of poetry are given, including selections
from living authors. The Editor has aimed to produce a book “which the
emigrant, finding room for little not absolutely necessary, might yet
find room for in his trunk, and the traveller in his knapsack, and that
on some narrow shelves where there are few books this might be one._”
“_The Archbishop has conferred in this delightful volume an important
gift on the whole English-speaking population of the world._”--PALL
MALL GAZETTE.
SACRED LATIN POETRY, Chiefly Lyrical. Selected and arranged for Use.
Second Edition, Corrected and Improved. Fcap. 8vo. 7_s._
“_The aim of the present volume is to offer to members of our English
Church a collection of the best sacred Latin poetry, such as they shall
be able entirely and heartily to accept and approve--a collection,
that is, in which they shall not be evermore liable to be offended,
and do have the current of their sympathies checked, by coming upon
that which, however beautiful as poetry, out of higher respects they
must reject and condemn--in which, too, they shall not fear that snares
are being laid for them, to entangle them unawares in admiration for
aught which is inconsistent with their faith and fealty to their own
spiritual mother._”--PREFACE.
*Turner.*--SONNETS. By the Rev. CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER. Dedicated to
his brother, the Poet Laureate. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
“_The Sonnets are dedicated to Mr. Tennyson by his brother, and have,
independently of their merits, an interest of association. They both
love to write in simple expressive Saxon; both love to touch their
imagery in epithets rather than in formal similes; both have a delicate
perception of rhythmical movement, and thus Mr. Turner has occasional
lines which, for phrase and music, might be ascribed to his brother
... He knows the haunts of the wild rose, the shady nooks where light
quivers through the leaves, the ruralities, in short, of the land of
imagination._”--ATHENÆUM.
SMALL TABLEAUX. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
“_These brief poems have not only a peculiar kind of interest for the
student of English poetry, but are intrinsically delightful, and will
reward a careful and frequent perusal. Full of naïvete, piety, love,
and knowledge of natural objects, and each expressing a single and
generally a simple subject by means of minute and original pictorial
touches, these sonnets have a place of their own._”--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
*Vittoria Colonna.*--LIFE AND POEMS. By MRS. HENRY ROSCOE. Crown 8vo.
